shrimp- in foster care

Meet Shrimp! Shrimp is an approximately 1.5 year old, 38 pound dog who is currently part of our Diamond Dog program, a designation given to pets who have been waiting for a home for more than 90 days. As of 05/30/26, Shrimp had been waiting 117 days to find his forever family. Shrimp came to Rockwall Adoption Center alongside his brother after their family was no longer able to care for them. While shelter life was difficult for him, Shrimp is now thriving in a foster home where he continues to build confidence and learn that the world can be a safe and happy place. Shrimp is a sweet, gentle, and dog friendly companion who is eager to form a meaningful bond with his person. He can be a little shy at first and will benefit from a patient, consistent family that can continue helping him grow. With time and understanding, Shrimp has the potential to become an incredibly loyal and loving companion. Because Shrimp is currently living in foster care, an approved adoption application is required prior to scheduling a meet and greet. Shrimp is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated, and heartworm negative. As a Diamond Dog, his adoption fee is just $75. If you are interested in giving Shrimp the forever home he deserves, please submit an adoption application at: https://rockwalladoptions.com/adoptfoster/adoption-application/ Once your application has been approved, RAC staff will coordinate a meet and greet with his foster family.  All animals, unless otherwise noted in their description, are at 1825 Airport Rd. in Rockwall, TX. Hours of operation are Monday-Friday 9 am to 6 pm and Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm. For questions, please call 972-771-7750 ext. 2 or email info@RockwallAdoptions.com. IMPORTANT NOTICE: All shelter animals are required by Texas state law to be spayed/neutered. RAC completes this procedure at the age of 12 weeks. If you are adopting a pet under the age of 12 weeks or an animal that has not yet been spayed or neutered, you will be required to return the pet to our facility on the agreed upon date set at the time of adoption. This policy is non-negotiable and violation of this health code is a criminal offense. June 8, 2026, 7:20 pm
